FULL ACCESS Student Summit--San Jose February 6th, 2012
APPLY TODAY for the Full Access Student Summit
The application deadline is Monday March 26, 2012
This exclusive event brings together up to sixty college students or recent alumni with disabilities and ten select national and regional employers for a networking and education summit. FULL ACCESS is not a career fair. It is not an opportunity to interview one-on-one with individual students and there should be NO expectation to extend a job offer at the Summit. FULL ACCESS is a golden opportunity for employers to meet up to 60 prospective employees with disabilities.
WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF FULL ACCESS?
College students and recent alumni with disabilities will be comfortable with employers
Better understanding of college students and recent graduates with disabilities
Encourage inclusion of these students with Corporate Diversity recruitment plans
WHAT WILL I LEARN/GAIN?
Students:
Learn to comfortably interact with employers through workshops and seminars
Learn how to professionally network with potential employers
Interact with other students with disabilities with similar interests
Attend workshops that will teach students how to present themselves professionally ranging from what to wear to an interview to proper etiquette for meals with employers
WHAT STUDENTS CAN I EXPECT TO SEE?
Our screening and selection processes allow for a diverse group of college and post graduate students with disabilities. College juniors, seniors, graduates and post-doctoral students are all expected to be in attendance at the 2011 Full Access Conference. Not only is there diversity among disabilities, but also diverse groups of ages, levels of experience, majors and ethnicities.
WHAT EMPLOYERS AND SPONSORS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PAST?
Past employers have included a wide variety of private and public sector entities such as AIG, AT&T, American Airlines, Bank of America, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Bridgestone Firestone, Bureau of Land Management, Cisco, Dow Chemical, FritoLay, The Gap, Google, HSC Foundation, Internal Revenue Service, Johnson Scholarship Foundation, Lockheed Martin, Merck, Microsoft, NBCUniversal, Northrop Grumman, Office of Naval Intelligence, Procter & Gamble, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Shell Oil, Social Security Administration, SunTrust Bank, Tropicana, U.S. Department of Transportation-Federal Highway Administration, Wachovia Bank, Walmart, and the Walt Disney Company.
